My Monday MAC Colour Forecast Face of the Day

For the eyes, I mixed the shimmery pinks and purples from Crush Metal Pigment in Stacked 1 with MAC Pigment in Melon (a shimmery, peachy gold) and Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Jinx (a shimmery teal). Then, I upped the drama with black liner using MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack (a matte black) along my upper lashline and MAC Technakohl Liner in Graphblack on the waterline.
I wanted to make sure my cheeks wouldn’t compete with the eyes, so I went with something semi-matte, in this case MAC Ombre Blush in Ripe Peach (a coral).

When we recently bumped into each other one rainy afternoon, I was rifling through a drawer of makeup at the time.
Hello, good looking. 🙂
And the spark was still there.
At first glance, Groundwork doesn’t look like much, but it’s what I like to call a “work horse” shade, the kind of color I’ll wear day after day.
